Here’s a fun parody by Wyoma Films, laying rest to any nagging questions you might have had about how hipsters would have fared in the popular “Hunger Games” trilogy.

In short, it would have been a completely different game.

The film’s producers say they’ve pitted hipsters from Portland, Austin, Brooklyn, Oakland, and Silverlake (Los Angeles) against each other in a fight to the death. No Seattle, but we know our hipsters can typewriter it up with the best of them.

Courtney Love is fighting back against reports saying she said Kermit the Frog raped the memory of her late husband, Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain. And she thinks “Muppet” actor Jason Segel is a “coward” for not responding to her criticisms.

Love was upset that a Nirvana hit was used in the 2010 Muppet movie by Disney — hence the rape comment. Now, she’s standing by her analogy — and she thinks people should understand why “rape” is the appropriate term.

The naked Sons of Norway? We’re talking about several YouTube videos in which nude Norwegian men are seen “humping” various landmarks in a city in Norway. The Norwegian media has gone beserk, and as this headline aptly describes the videos: “Hunky Norwegians have sex with city landmarks.” The Local, an English language paper, reports: The […]

First of all, wow. Those guys in the photo sure are the sons of Beatles, aren’t they?

Second of all, there’s a chance they could be forming a band.

That news comes from an interview the BBC did with James McCartney, son of Beatles frontman Paul McCartney. James, who played guitar on two of his father’s most recent albums, said he’d like to record and tour with other Beatles offspring. (Darn. The name “The Offspring” is already taken. How about “Here Comes the Son?”)

He’d certainly have a qualified bunch to work with. Sean Lennon, Zak Starkey and Dhani Harrison are all musicians — and Starkey is the unofficial drummer for The Who.

The Seattle Art Museum’s facade will soon display sunsets, blue skies, clouds and just about any other natural scene seen around Seattle.

The museum announced today that it’s getting ready to install a large-scale art installation from artist Doug Aitken for the Northwest corner of its building on First Avenue downtown. The installation, titled “Mirror” will display scenes from around the Pacific Northwest and cast bands of light all over the museum’s facade.

I hope Starbucks headquarters in South Seattle has a really big mail slot in its front door. It’ll need one.

Supporters of gay marriage are planning to deliver a giant thank you card Wednesday afternoon, a gesture commending the company for publicly expressing its support of same-sex marriage in Washington state. The card comes from SumOfUs and other groups that gathered signatures after the National Organization of Marriage entered a Starbucks shareholder meeting and grilled the coffee company’s CEO about the move.
